🇬🇧 British Agent Jailed After Pocketing $BTC from Drug Case ⚠️

🔎 During a dark web drug investigation, $UK crime officer Paul Chowles helped himself to XX Bitcoin 🪙 from a dealer’s $wallet — and thought he could get away with it.

☝️To cover his tracks, he used a $crypto mixer (think of it as a digital laundering machine), but the plan fell apart when he left all the passwords... in his notebook 😬. Not the smartest move.

The BTC stash was worth just £60K back in 2017, but its value has skyrocketed to over £4 million today. Chowles only managed to $cash out £145,000 before getting caught.

Now, he’s been handed a 5.5-year prison sentence 🚨 and shown the door from his $job
